One of my
favorite shopping is buying Pattern Kits. I know it is expensive but it is one way for
me to learn about materials and also learn about new technique.
This year I bought a few and finished 2 of them. Yes it is a
challenge when the kits are not in English. Sometimes even the google translate
is a bit difficult to understand. Especially if the kits are written in Kanji!
I usually will open the pattern pieces and scan each sentences/word onto google translate and try to make sense of it! Then, trying to figure out the pictures instructions in a single piece of paper. So, basic bag making or sewing and diagrams. The kits usually come with a very simple basic diagrams and knowledge is important if you're considering to buy kits. But once you figured it out, everything else is easy!
I started this pouch a few days ago from the Kit I bought in the Quilt Show. The kit includes fabrics, binding strip and zippers. This is the first time I tried installing the zipper by hand!! and to tell you the truth I LOVE it.
By the way, here I didn't use the fabrics etc from the kit. Since this is my first trial, I used fabrics etc from my stash. Maybe I should have used polkadots lining instead of the handloom linen fabric.
I kinda love this pouch. Maybe can add this kind of pouch in the shop later on. What do you think?
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a nice weekends!
